It's no secret: Baking is time consuming, and requires precision. So what are your options for providing that special occasion dessert for your friends or family?

1. Buy pre-made pastries from the grocery store--oftentimes overly sweet, usually filled with preservatives, dyes, and chemicals. Not made by you, mass produced

2. Use cake/cookie mixes from grocery shelves--made by your hands and gets the kids involved, but seriously, look at the ingredients. Even the "simple" or "pure" mixes can contain bleached and bromated flours, baking powder with aluminum, and other chemicals. You're trying to make something special for your family and friends, not feed them desserts filled with low quality ingredients and preservatives

3. Buy pastries from a local bakery--the best option so far, but also the most expensive, not especially convenient, and not created by you

4. Bake from scratch--made by you, so you know exactly what's in it, and you can get the kids involved if you like. But very time consuming; buying high quality ingredients is expensive, and the best ones are hard to source for home bakers. Sometimes new recipes are hit or miss, and if you make one mistake with measuring...you've got cake soup
